SUMMARY
With over 160bhp and legendary Lotus handling, the second-generation Elan is a true performance bargain.
DESCRIPTION
- Lotus' diminutive 1960s Elan quickly achieved iconic status and marked a high point in the company's history. No doubt a degree of reflected glory was sought by applying the same moniker to the very different Peter Stevens-penned M100 model launched in 1989
- The SE Turbo was powered by a turbocharged 162bhp 1.6-litre four-cylinder offering 0-60 in 6.7 seconds and 137mph
- This smart example is finished in British Racing Green, over black leather interior with matching black hood and sits on silver alloys
- First registered in 1992, it was imported to Sweden 2011 by its current owner, returning to the UK earlier this year, with all taxes paid, and now ready for its new owner to register
- Recently serviced, before returning to the UK the vehicle has been MOT’d and will be fitted with a new cambelt and thermostat prior to the sale
- Supplied with its original handbook, invoices for its prior life in the UK, previous MOTs and Swedish import paperwork
